TURCK BI20UCA40AP6X2H1141 Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI20U-CA40-AP6X2-H1141 inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial long-range metal detection and position sensing systems. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, pallet transfer systems, and automated production lines requiring extended non-contact object detection. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system upgrades.

Applications:

The Turck BI20U-CA40-AP6X2-H1141 is designed for long-range detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. It is commonly used in conveyor transfer systems, automotive manufacturing equipment, packaging machinery, warehouse automation systems, and material handling applications where reliable object detection and position feedback are required for PLC-controlled processes. The uprox technology provides equal sensing distance for all metals while maintaining resistance to magnetic fields and harsh industrial environments.
